You’ve got mail

Posted in Addons at 11:42 am by Nibuca

MailboxI have to say I’m loving the bulk mailing that was added with patch 2.3. Not so much the bulk part of it (I had that by using CTmail) but the part where it bundles the items up into a single package… AND you can label the package.

Addon: Ratings Buster

Posted in Addons at 9:11 pm by Nibuca

I started out wanting to discuss just Ratings Buster.. but I see from my screenshot, you’re actually getting a five-for-one-here. The screenshot is showing Equipcompare (the tooltips side-by-side), TankPoints (comparing this item to the worn item in terms of tanking), HealPoints (compare this item to the worn item in terms of healing), AuctioneerAdvanced (the vendor prices) AND Ratings Buster.

Equipcompare falls into my Tier one addons (critical, existence is painful without this). Everything else is Tier 2 (this makes my life easier .. alot).

Rating Buster small

Addon: Jim’s Cooldown Pulse

Posted in Addons at 9:54 am by Nibuca

On Mynt’s suggestion I went ahead and downloaded/installed Jim’s Cooldown Pulse.

When an ability’s cooldown ends, Jim’s Cooldown Pulse shows the icon for that ability at a position/size on the screen that you’ve specified. It also plays a heartbeat sound to draw your attention. This allows you to keep your eyes in the center of the screen instead of staring at buttons and their cooldowns.

Posted in Addons at 11:52 pm by Nibuca

Warlocking is hard work. Addons make my world spin. Here’s the lowdown on dot timers from my perspective.

I looked at 3 (or 4 depending on how you look at it).

Hook.. Line.. Sinker

Posted in Addons at 9:03 am by Nibuca

As I mentioned yesterday, I have a friend who tried out the game but found it to be “boring. And I died alot�. I talked with her, gave her our information (server/ventrillo) and suggested she log on with us for a while.

I also sent her my short description of the game and the classes. She logged in last night and made a new female dwarf hunter, Kikee, on a trial account.

How I Heal, Grid+Clique

Posted in Addons at 10:25 am by Nibuca

A couple of guildies recently respec’d to heal and were asking about my addons (queen of addons here). Here’s what I wrote up for them.

I use GRID to heal. I love love love grid+clique. I’m pretty sure I’d have to give up healing if I didn’t have grid+clique.

[Edited to add: NEW VIDEO! I've created a complimentary video showing this healing technique.]

Infogasm - Addon: Recount

Posted in Addons at 11:38 am by Nibuca

Recount DPS over time

Seriously, if you don’t have it, get “Recount”. I spotted this on WowInsider UI of the week feature.

It’s Yet Another Damage Meter… but it’s more much much more. I’ve only started twisting the dials.. and it’s very very pretty. How much information is too much information?

I -do- wish it had either a minimap icon or a FuBar thingy (what do you call that?.. clickable fubar tag that you click on to open it). But even without that.. it’s one fantastic infogasm. I was able to graph incoming damage, outgoing damage and then heals. Very very pretty.

[Edited to add]
Turns out they have a fubar plugin for Recount. I’m in Info heaven.

Addon: Proximo Arena Mod

Posted in Addons at 9:27 am by Nibuca

ProximoI’m tempted by the Arena.. but I’m fairly certain I’ll get my ass handed to me unceremoniously.

Regardless.. I stumbled across this addon that looks like it’d be fairly interesting. Noting it here just in case I actually get the urge to go into an Arena.

Proximo Arena Mod: Simple enemy unit frames for Arena matches used for identifying and coordinating targets

It lets you see your opponents as a unit frame. If you see them before combat starts you can also use this bar to target them. I assume you could also hook this into Clique to clickcast spells through the bar.
